Dirty Ice Cream


Created back in Japan’s Edo period (1603-1867), the first Sunday in April sees hundreds of people go to the Kanamara Shrine in the south of Tokyo for a spring fertility festival.

The Japanese legend had a demon which hid inside a young girl and castrated two young men on their wedding nights -- a blacksmith fashioned an iron phallus, which the demon broke his teeth on. Thus, the enshrinement of the steel penis.
